SSH

Introduction

The SSH (Secure Shell) service allows users to login to the appliance
CLI and perform most of the same administrative actions that can be
performed in the BUI. The SSH service can also be used
as means of executing automated scripts from a remote host, such as
for retrieving daily logs or Analytics statistics.
